Navigating Troubled Waters

Water pollution threatens ecosystems, supply chains, and economies, driving up costs and amplifying risks for businesses. These ecological risks increasingly translate into commercial challenges, including regulatory fines, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.

This session delves into the innovative role of blue bonds and other financial instruments designed to fund ocean and freshwater conservation initiatives. By directing capital to projects that reduce pollution, protect biodiversity, and promote sustainable water use, the blue economy offers a pathway to both ecological recovery and economic resilience.

Panelists will explore the profound interconnection between ecological health and commercial stability, shedding light on how protecting water systems is essential for safeguarding supply chains and maintaining long-term financial viability. Learn how aligning investments with ecological goals can drive sustainability while mitigating commercial risks.
